FATHER Christmas will visit St Helens Town Centre this weekend to hear any last-minute Christmas wishes.

Complete with real reindeer in tow, Old Saint Nick will land in Church Square on Saturday, December 15, where he will be around from noon to 4pm to receive Christmas letters from crowds of excited children ahead of the big day.

Senior events and promotions officer at St Helens Council, Suzanne Davies, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Father Christmas and his reindeer back to St Helens Town Centre for this fantastic free festive event which has proved extremely popular with families over the years.

“Don’t miss out on this wonderful event which is a fantastic opportunity to get into the Christmas spirit right here in St Helens at what is considered by many to be the most wonderful time of the year.”
